Birds. Clocks. Lurid colours. What does it all mean? I don't know, why are you asking me such things? Let's strap in for the latest transmission for the Space Library, the repository of all things musically rather wonderful, many of which have been forgotten.

Deux will coax you in with a 7" single b-side, really, this much excellence consigned to a flipside? There should be a law. From there it's all manner of groovy choral from The Free Design, Fad Gadget in a hospital, German space exploration via television, Broadcast making an audio stew of the music of Miki Furukawa, the Future Bible Heroes at their most heartbreaking-ist, and Hugo Montenegro wants to be a cowboy. And, scene.
